Genie has come out with a new line of bright colors called The Water Color Collection for both their Genie Bra and their Cami Shaper which include:

Hula Skirt

Paradise Cove

Orchid Leis

Frozen Margarita

Chick-ita Banana

Fresh Squeezed Oranges

Frozen Margarita

Mint Mojito

Crushed Red Pepper

If you aren't already familiar with Genie Bra, it is a one-style-fits-all bra for women who want comfort, convenience and sleek curves. It is made from comfort stretch fabric with no underwire, no clasps and no seams. It is perfect for those who just had a mastectomy or other surgery and are also great for nursing moms. I have about 6 Genie Bras and LOVE them. They are so comfortable and I find that I don't sweat as much in them.

The Water Collection Genie Bras will be sold in sets of 3 for $29.99 at GenieComfort.com starting in August (or you can buy the nude, black or white colored bras individually at retailers nationwide such as Walmart, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond for $9.99)

The Cami Shaper by Genie is the ultimate 3-in-1 garment that serves as a camisole, a bra and a shaper. The seamless construction gives you 5 zones of slimming support (back, sides, stomach, love handles and muffin top) to eliminate layers, smooth rolls and bulges (and boy do I have those). I wore mine under a tight fitting dress and found that my shape did look slimmer and you didn't see bra lines and other "layers" under the dress.

Cami Shaper by Genie is sold in sets of 3 for $59.99 at CamiShaper.com.

S2O Laundry Detergent Sheets w/ Stain Remover Boosterare pre-moistened, biodegradable, all-in-one laundry sheets that make it easy to wash your clothes. Just toss one or two sheets into the machines with your clothes (you can pretreat stains by rubbing the sheet on any spot that needs it). When its time to put your clothes into the dryer, just toss the used sheet in too.

S2O is a pre-moistened, organic, biodegradable surfactant, all-in-one laundry sheet that takes the place of detergent, fabric softener, stain sticks and booster products, saving consumers time and money – approximate savings of $1.20 per load!

S2O prevents the redeposition of soil from washing machine “grey water,” which means no need for caustic bleach and other products that are harmful to the environment

S2O is made from plant extracts as well as soy, coconut and corn which have a higher degree of efficacy in breaking down stains

What I thought of them....

They worked well and my clothes did smell good after using them (I used 2 per load since my loads are on the large size). The convenience is wonderful and it makes it easy for my kids to help with the laundry without making a complete mess by trying to pour liquid by themselves.

You can buy S2o Laundry Sheets for $19.99 for a 100-sheet tub at CVS, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walgreens, Rite Aid and other retailers as well as online at www.s2olaundrysheets.comDisclosure: I was given the product featured in this post to facilitate my review.
